I can be as courteous as possible and people will still be cowards and downvote me into oblivion, just because they reject the premise of my post and character altogether. Like I'll make a post, someone will comment something thats perfectly nice and reasonable, and I'll respond and be sweet as pie, and boom 53 downvotes. I've kinda accepted that people don't really fw me so I'm admittedly confrontational as a defense mechanism. I call it the "lip rule". If I'm talking to someone I'll be really cool and nice but if they give me any lip (disrespect) I turn into a cold hearted son of a bitch. Thanks for your input as a professor, though.

Good luck. Honestly I know a few people with similar rules. They've devolved into righteous sonsabitches that just piss people off constantly. If you're looking for offenses, you'll find them.

You made a post about sexual harassment, being obtuse, rude, and angry that you were called on your behavior. On reddit. Of course people are going to give you grief for it. Then you're mad that they're giving you grief?

Like, fellow redditor, I'm not telling you how to live your life but the anger you carry around with you isn't something you have to do. You can enjoy life and not be feel crapped on all the time. And if you can't get there yourself, it is okay to try to therapy (something you deeply decried in another comment). You just don't deserve to be this on edge.

You don't have to be angry, even if your brain tells you otherwise. You deserve to be happy. I hope you find something that makes you happy, without dumping on others, and focus on that. Good luck to you, comrade
